THE conflict between the sheep
men and cattlemen in Idaho prom
Uses to be the cause of serious trou-
BILE in the future. The revised stat
utes in force June /, 1887, provide
as follows: "Any person owning
or having charge of sheep who
herds, grazes or pastures the same,
or permits or suffers the same to be
.herded, grazed or pastured on any
i, cattle range previously occupied by
cattle, or upon any range usually
occupied by any cattle grower
either as spring, summer or win
ter range for his cattle, is guilty of!
~
a misdemeanor, but the priority Of
.possessory right between cattle and
sheep owners to any range is deter
mined by the priority in the usual
and customary use of such range
either rs cattle or sheep range"

SOME of the Arizona press, more naturally created and intended for villifying, than advancing the com mon interests of the Territory, las made itself ridiculous by assailing Gov. Zulick and MT. Parish, and accuses these gentlemen of forming ring" of which they are the equator, Of course there is a req son for everything,a ,and the unpreiu- diced need not look further for the cause of this, than the soreness of disappointed political aspirations. It is bad to get left, and aggrava- ting, not to be allowed a finger in the pot, and humiliating to know we are dispensable and that the country will still continue to run and prosper without us. If the present administration is ring" it will surely be found to encom- pass all that is honorable, honest and competent, and all that is cs- sential to good and impartial gov ernment, and thus it is found with out precedent in the Territory of Arizona. The press, if intended for public good, had better encour- age, rather than discourage the present administration, particularly when malice is the only charge against it.

 MAINE has repealed her law au- thorizing capital punishment in cases of murder in the first degree, and has substituted in its place, life imprisonment, Such convicts, however, are to be kept in close confinement, away from all asso- citations, with no pardon:ng bower, un!e-s the convict is proved inno- cent.
 It is we'll that we should be hu- mane, and shake from among us every vestige of barbarism, even in dealing with criminals of the most heinous character; but, if hanging is barbarous, what is close confne- ment for life, cut of from all asso- citations? It certainly is death, manifested only by slower pro- cess than hanging, and far more brutal and barbarous. Such law can only be construed as yelled brutality and heathenism.

THE question now being asked by almost every law-abiding citizen is, ,''how are We to stop murders and thieving?" This problem has per
 plexed and puzzled our citizens for several years, and is still unsolved. To our minds the thing has never been tried in the proper manner. Our best citizens, are to a great ex- tent, to blame for the present state of affairs in Apache county. Why, how are they at fault, some one will ask? We will make few sug- gestions, and leave them to an swer. When man is arrested here, if he has any acquaintances among our citizens, nine times out of ten, he will be out on bail in less than forty eight hours. His bondsmen, seldom, if ever inquire into the merits of the case, to as- certain whether he is guilty of the crime charged or not. Some one will say, he is a good fellow, and ought not to lay in jail until court scts-let us get bonds for him, and

the power of voting to give them their proper influence in life. A true woman can accomplish more good in her proper sphere than q dozen voters, and the further she goes out of that sphere, the less good she accomplishes. What man in his right senses would like to see his mother, wife or daughter canvassing for votes about election
 time or making stump speeches.
 Let him contrast such picture with the dear womanly woman at home, and then let him support woman suffrage if he wants to. As for myself l think there is no limit to the influence possessed by q true woman over those to whom she is dear, and it is not necessary for her to go to the polls to exert

We give thls week, a few extracts from the report of Capt. J. B. Kerr, of the 9th cavalry, to the Adjutant of the U $. army, at Washington, in regard to the killing of Lockhart, Palmer and King, on the 10th ot February. We shall publish the full report next week. As usual, where there is a conflict between thieving, murderous Indians and respectable white persons, the off cers of the army, ,and Indian agents, espouse the cause of the Indians, and abuse and villify the whites. In our next, we shall have some thing more to say on this subject. Below we give the extracts referred to:
 "The simple story is that Hosteen Chee, a very respectable Indian, finding a horse astray took the trouble to drive it over to Mir. Ben nett's ranch to have it identified. MT. Bennett recognized it as the property of one E. L. Palmer, a worthless white man-said to be a deserter from the United States Army-living at Navajo springs. The horse was left with Bennett to be called for. When Palmer called for it, he found a small abrasion of the skin somewhere on the horses body and immediately be- gan to anathematizc the Indian. At Navajo springs he swore out a warrant against the Indian for horse-stealing. Then Palmer, with constable named Lockhart and man named J. V. King, started for the Indians hogan to execute the warrant. Not one of them could speak word of the Navajo lan- guage, and they knew that not one of the Indians there could speak word ofEnglish. But if they could not speak to the Indians, they could fire at them, for they went we'll armed. It was not the hogan of Hosteen Chee, that Palmer and his associates attacked. They at- tackled the dwelling of Belto Moni- hogo, Hosteen's brother-in-law where HOsteen had left his wagon, which probably misled the maraud- ers."
 "Mr Bennett states that Palmer and King each took a horse of his without his knowledge and against his wish and rode them on the ex- petition. Those two horses were shot and killed in the affair. That Palmer provided himself with food at his ranch, there being no one present who belonged at the ranch. Both reports close with the assur- ance that there will be no further disturbance if the Indians are not mOlested."

THE advent or Chief Justice J. H. Wright, brings bright promise of wholesome fruits to the good people of Arizona. The past teaches that judicial reforms, as we'll as others, have been needed. Our benches have not always been able, prompt, fearless, vigorous or even pure, but if reputation, ac- quaintance and personal inspection on and off the bench, by those capable of judging, demonstrates anything, then Missouri's loss is Arizona's gain. Conscience, judic- ial strength and ability, firmness and promptness, is what we need and want on the bench, and We are confident that we now have these indispensable qualities to protect the interests and promote the pros perity of the people. No Annual Pass railroad company-notorious- ly and obseqiously attentive at all times to Arizona judges, need apply. A pass eagerly and quick ly offered, is eagerly and quickly rejected and returned, to be held by the Annual Pass Company, un- til it can find some judicial officer who will forget himself, accept with ''yes, thanks ;"forget himself again and return the favor" The people read these events and hay ing read them, remember We ex- pect and predict good things of Chief Justice Wright.

bonds are made. What Is the re- sult?-if he is guilty, he sets to work immediately, manufacturing testimony to clear himself, and by the time court meets, he has forged such a chain of testimony, that it is almost impossible to break it down. We do not wish to be hard on any one who may be arrested for any offence, but 1t is an unde- niable fact, that nine out of ten criminals cleared before our courts, are relaesed on perjured testimony. The best citizens property owners-men who are more directly interested in making life and property secure, are aiding and abetting crime, by being too ready to go on bonds without mak- ing the proper inquiries into the matter. They put it in the power of criminals to ride over all the country, hunt up their pals, tutor them as 10 what they are to swear, and thus defeat the ends of justice. If person is arrested for almost any offense and is innocent, he can procure all the testimony he may want, and remain in jail. His law yer will see that his witnesses are forthcoming,if he will furnish their names. There is no necessity for manufacturing testimony to clear an innocent man. Let our proper ty owners ponder on this, and see whether they are not, in measure, to blame, whether they have not, unintentionally played into the hands of criminals.

THERE Is a movement on foot, and which has awakened some in- terest ill Washington, to do away with the present system of nomi- mating Presidents and Vice Presi- dents by party conventions, and electing the same by popular vote, by giving every voter the opportu- nifty to write upon his ticket the names of his candidates, and vo- ting directly for his choice for President. Ii carried into effect, it will be amusing to note the num- Der and character of candidates voted for, as the individual choice of voters for Presidents.

IT may probably be surprising to some of those of Apache county who are known to the general pub lie, better by the noise they make, than from their general worth, that the judgment by default entered against Apache county last winter, in favor of the A. & P. R. k. Co. in the suit for taxes, and which the ID. H." Critic knew so much about, and in his usual manner dis played so lAuch gab, has been set aside for naught by Judge Wright.
 In this case which was argued before Judge Wright in Prescott a few days ago, demurrers and dila- tory motions of all kinds and char acters have been disposed of, and now the case is squarely butted mp against it's merits, upon which it must now go to trial. The case is set for trial on June 9th next, and now with demurers' and all other motions brought Up, intended merely for delay being out of the way, the case will be argued only upon its merits, and upon which a decision will be rendered. So far in the case, the Railroad Com pany have endeavored in every con ceivable manner to delay the mat ter, and thus preventing the test of it's merits, by demurrers, defaults, motions and everything else that would produce or cause delay. One would expect that, as the Rail- road Company is so positive of its exemption from taxation by its Congressional charter, would, from the first, be willing to submit the case upon it's merits and thus let it be decided without fooling with demurrers, defaults, etc. But it seems, though even as it claims its charter without doubt txempts it from taxation, it has some fear of it's own merits. It will be grati- flying to the people to know that the case itself is now set for trial, and merits, not defaults and de- murrers are to decide it, and in this shape the people will soon know whether this company is liable to taxation, or whether it is only supposed to donate us as charity, not as tax, at a rate of $2,OOO per mile,

the people that they had some idea at least of their case and knew what they were doing. That the Chief Justice in Prescott, a few days ago, overruled all demurrers, judgments by default and other dilatory motions in favor of Apache county, pfovcs, if nothing more, that the Attorneys entrusted with the case, are conscientious in their discharge of the eounty's trust, and are thoroughly competent and cap able to manage it.
 The Critic has used every en- deavor to prejudice the county against the Attorneys employed to conduct the case, ,and has laid much stress over the judgment by de- fault, entered in favor of the rail- road, and now that thIs judgment has not been sustained, but bodily ruled out of court by the Judge, we would like 10 sec what the Critic has to offer as sympathy and con dolcnce for himself and his little railroad, which he represents so musically that one would think he struck the key known as D. H.
 It would be we'll if the Critic would at least confine itself to matters that 1t has some knowledge of, and not practice misleading tlle public, in simply trying to justify it's spiteful and dirty prejudice.
